Akamai App & API Protector reviews & product details
Visit websiteAkamai App and API Protector combines several application-security layers, including a web application firewall, API protections, bot mitigation, and DDoS protection. Its Adaptive Security Engine is designed to adapt defenses to observed attack patterns rather than depend only on manually authored rules.
The product is aimed at protecting important public applications and APIs. Map the traffic that should pass through the chosen deployment and identify any direct origin routes that could bypass it.

Frequently asked questions
Does this remove the need to secure the origin?
No. Review bypass paths, origin access, application updates, and incident response alongside the protection layer.
Should we assess it using only attack-blocking counts?
No. Test legitimate customer actions and API clients, event visibility, and the effort needed to maintain policies.
